Abstract: Method and device for monitoring of the composition of a flowing gas. An oscillation of sound frequency is applied to the gas flow pipe (10) downstream and upstream, and the travel times (t1, t2) of the monitoring sound over a certain measurement distance (L) downstream and upstream are detected. The sound speed (c) or a quantity representing same is determined on the basis of said travel times (t1, t2). This speed (c) is mainly dependent on the average molecular weight of the gas to be monitored. The temperature (T) of the flowing gas is measured, and on the basis of the measurement of temperature, the sound speed that has been reduced to a certain reference temperature T0 is determined from the formula c0 = c .  2ROOT (T0/T), which is applicable to an ideal gas and wherein T = absolute measured temperature of the gas, T0 = chosen absolute reference temperature, c = measured sound speed, and c0 = sound speed reduced to the reference temperature, or by using a corresponding more realistic formula. When the reduced temperature (c0) differs from its range of expected values (c1...c2), an alarm signal or control signal is given. Alternatively, the limits (C1, C2) of the range of expected values can be reduced to temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a switching device, consisting of a power switching apparatus (1) having a short-circuit and overload trigger device and having an auxiliary switching device (2) which can be fitted to the outside of the housing of the power switching apparatus and preferably has two pairs of auxiliary contacts which are designed as normally closed contacts (95,96) and normally open contacts (97,98) and are closed or opened by means of moving contact links. The overload trip device (110) in the case of the switching device according to the invention does not lead to the power switching apparatus tripping but acts on the auxiliary switching device. This results in the advantage that the power switching apparatus does not trip in the event of a slight overload but passes a signal via an auxiliary switching device to a signalling device (S1) and operates an electromagnetic switching apparatus (114). The auxiliary switching device can be retrofitted to the power switching apparatus. In this case, a changeover lever which is supported in the auxiliary switching device projects through an opening into the power switching apparatus. The changeover lever interacts with the overload tripping device of the power switching apparatus and, in the event of an overload, switches the switching links suddenly into the respective other switching position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for supplying printing ink in the vibrating inking unit of a printing machine, in which the supply takes place transversely relative to the printing direction in a zonally varying manner in each case by adjusting a film thickness gradient of the printing ink directed towards the printing forme, is to be improved in such a way that, especially in the case of a small proportion of the surface of the printing forme to be printed, the fewest possible balancing sheets in relation to a steady-state inking level can be achieved relative to the next steady-state inking level. According to the invention, this is achieved in that, in at least one zone and at least for a specific duration, a delivery of printing ink takes place by adjusting a film thickness gradient directed in the opposite direction. This can be achieved, for example, in that no supply of printing ink takes place in specific zones and the return flow of ink present in these zones is balanced by an increased supply of printing ink in other zones with a correspondingly steeper film thickness gradient.
